Frequently asked questions
What is a sworn (noter yeminli) translation?
A sworn translation is produced by a translator who has taken an oath before a Turkish notary. Because the notary holds the translator's signature on file, the notary can certify the translation, which is what makes it valid for official use in Turkey.
Do I need notarization or an apostille?
It depends on the authority receiving the document. Documents used before Turkish government offices or courts usually need notarization; documents to be used abroad often also need an apostille under the Hague Convention. Tell us how the document will be used and we will advise.
Which languages do you translate?
We work between Turkish and many languages, including English, German, French, Arabic, Spanish, Russian and Chinese, and other language pairs on request.
How much does it cost and how long does it take?
Pricing and turnaround depend on the document type, length, language pair and level of certification (translation only, notarized, or apostilled). Send us your document for an exact quote and timeline.
Do you work with companies?
Yes. We translate company documents, contracts and financial statements, keep terminology consistent across a company's documents, and invoice the company. Send the documents with your company details for a quote.
Are my documents kept confidential?
Yes. Sworn translators take an oath before a notary and must keep the content of the documents they translate confidential. We process personal data under the Turkish data protection law (KVKK), as described in our privacy notice.
